Overview

  • The 49ers signed Purdy to a five-year, $265 million extension this spring that includes $181 million guaranteed and a no-trade clause, cementing him as their starter through the 2030 season.
  • An ESPN survey of coaches, scouts and executives this summer did not place Purdy among the league’s top 10 quarterbacks, listing him instead in the “others receiving votes” category.
  • Hall of Famer Joe Montana publicly praised Purdy’s consistency, self-awareness and resilience in overcoming multiple injuries when endorsing the club’s investment.
  • According to Pro Football Reference, Purdy finished the 2024 regular season with a 67.9 adjusted QBR (seventh among qualifiers) and averaged 257.6 passing yards per game (fifth), despite missing two contests with shoulder and elbow issues.
  • Purdy’s ascent from the 262nd overall pick in 2022 to Pro Bowl contender and near-Super Bowl quarterback has highlighted a tension between statistical performance, market valuation and outsider perceptions.
